Greece Tours
with Diane Kochilas
Diane's Food, Wine & Culture Tours
Greece is so rich: Layers of history, landscapes that segue from dramatic mountain villages to the bluest of seas, ruins that tell the story of Western Civilization, food that mirrors every aspect of the country’s natural environment, geography and culture, and, hospitality that runs deep in the Greek DNA.
All of this and so much more adds up to Greece, and in my more than three decades of living here, I’ve traveled widely within the country.

14-Day Culinary & Cultural Odyssey Along the Egnatia Way
This journey weaves food, culture, history, and antiquities from Athens to Greece’s northwestern corner — Epirus and Ioannina, the thousand-year-old monasteries of Meteora, Mt. Olympus, and the cosmopolitan streets of Thessaloniki — before crossing into Istanbul, known to the Greeks as Constantinople.

Taste the city the way Athenians actually eat — markets, tavernas, and neighborhood stops led by Diane and her team, including her son Yiorgo.
Planning a trip to Athens? The best way to see a city is to taste it, and Athens is one of Europe’s greatest (and least discovered) food cities — a gem of traditional and contemporary flavors, and the vibrant “Mother” of the Mediterranean diet.
